Dream double bill # 9 'Mamma Roma' and 'Nights of Cabiria'

The theme of this weekend's double bill is changing circumstances, escape, self improvement; call it what you will. It doesn't matter that much that Mamma Roma and Cabiria share the same profession both want to escape their current lives and improve their circumstances for themselves or in the case of Mamma Roma for the sake of her son too.

Pasolini helped Fellini with the dialogue on 'Le Notti di Cabiria', both directors and both films show us changing lives, dreams, happiness and disappointments so well.
